Sector Detector: A "Healthy" Change

Scott Martindale

This week, the Healthcare sector moves to the top of Sabrient’s SectorCast rankings, making for a “healthy” change.

Market Talk: Is this a huge buying opportunity for Natural Gas?

by Scott Martindale, Senior Managing Director

Scott Martindale

Scott Martindale

Did UNG (natural gas ETF) really dip below $9 today? And NYMEX Natural Gas Oct Futures (NG) are below $2.7/MMBTU. Is natural gas destined for no value, or is this a great time to be accumulating for long-term investments?
